How to Monitor AI Model Quality After Changing the Retrieval Index

An index rebuild can change which passages are retrieved and affect answers even when prompts and model versions remain unchanged.

Checks to make

Record index version and source snapshot, compare retrieval results on a fixed evaluation set, and measure answer grounding and latency. Stage the new index and keep a rollback option if citation or task quality declines.
